Happy Protests

   I think people need to have some more happy protests. People in Quebec are always protesting something and its never a happy thing. Everybody's taking time out of their busy schedules to advertise how unpleased and/or oppressed they are but nobody ever talks about when they're glad.
   Just one time, I'd like to see a group of enthusiastic youths parading down the street bearing signs that say "We're feeling good today" or "The future's looking bright, guys!". I think that would be a good thing and it would make old ladies smile.
   If you got a group of people together you could get a full march going. You guys could pass out cookies or York mint patties- stuff that will make people happy life you. I would suggest blowing bubbles or some shit, but I think if I saw that it would make me grumpy unless I was in a Wes Anderson film. Rhythmic gymnastics would be a cool thing though, because who doesn't love leotards?
   As part of your happy protest you could hurl compliments at people as you walked around. People love to hear about how good they look- more so from strangers than from people they know.
   If you've got a happy rich guy in your midst, I'm sure no one would be opposed to receiving free money. I don't want to get carried away with greed, but I thought I'd float the idea out there.
  In the words of someone who said it once, "life is like a box of chocolate" and it's true sometimes you  get stuck with a cherry liqueur and you're sad about it. But other days you might get a peppermint truffle or strawberry creme and feel like a million bucks. I don't think it'd be insensitive to voice your excitement on a peppermint truffle day. In fact, I would like to read your placards on any given day if you're zealous enough to make them. I think that would be fair.
